Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?

Chapter 1761 The Golden Lake!

Ye Chuyun frowned slightly: "How much liquid capital do you have available?"

Qian Duoduo composed herself and quickly did some mental calculations: "Currently, we have about 80 billion yuan that we can immediately access. If we recover some short-term investments and liquidate some of the rare materials in our inventory, we can raise up to 120 billion yuan."

"Twelve hundred billion." Ye Chuyun pondered. This number was still far from his goal, but it was definitely enough for now.

Qian Duoduo added, "Moreover, three hours later, we also need to pay 30 billion for goods, which is star sand purchased from the Starfall Chamber of Commerce. This is an essential material for building the power core of the war fortress, and we can't delay it."

Ye Chuyun's eyes lit up: "So, you can give me a hundred billion now?"

"Yes, but at least 30 billion must be returned in three hours, otherwise the Star Sand order will fall through," Qian Duoduo said with a wry smile.

"Alliance Leader, what exactly do you want to buy? It costs so much money. Is it more important than the War Fortress?"

"It's precisely for the purpose of creating a war fortress," Ye Chuyun explained.

"I have found the key material that can evolve it into an awakened form: Primal Rune Crystal."

He immediately explained the reason.

Qian Duoduo gasped.

That is a strategic weapon capable of directly confronting beings at the half-step Nirvana Realm. Once completed, the status of the Weiyang Garrison in the Blue Star Region will be unshakeable.

“But 100 billion is far from enough.” Qian Duoduo quickly calmed down.

"Based on the market price of materials of this caliber, the starting bid would probably be more than this amount."

“I know.” A glint of light flashed in Ye Chuyun’s eyes.

"So I need you to do another thing: hold an auction in the name of the Weiyang residence."

"auctions?"

"Yes, it will be held within the Blue Star Domain and is open to all forces."

“Take out all the high-level materials, equipment, and cultivation techniques that we don’t need from our warehouse and sell them.”

"I understand." Qian Duoduo quickly got into the zone.

"Give me half an hour, and I'll prepare a list of auction items and a plan for you to review."

"No need to look at it, you're in full charge." Ye Chuyun patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder.

"I believe in your abilities. Now, give me the 100 billion God and Demon Coins."

Qian Duoduo gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll go and raise the funds right away."

He had an almost blind trust in Ye Chuyun's judgment.

Since Ye Chuyun said that not only would 100 billion be returned in three hours, but even more, he believed her.

Qian Duoduo turned and walked away quickly, while Ye Chuyun stood there, repeatedly rehearsing the next plan in her mind.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qian Duoduo returned, holding a palm-sized purple-gold storage ring in her hand.

"Lord, here are 100 billion Divine Demon Coins, all of which have been exchanged for Divine Demon Crystal Cards of the highest denomination, each worth 100 million, for a total of 1,000." Qian Duoduo solemnly handed over the ring.

"In addition, I have already given instructions to begin preparations for the auction, and the plan will be ready by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Ye Chuyun took the ring, scanned it with her divine sense, and nodded after confirming that it was correct: "Thank you for your hard work. I will be back in three hours."

"Alliance Leader..." Qian Duoduo couldn't help but ask.

"Where are you going to get so many Divine Demon Coins? Have you discovered some treasure?"

Ye Chuyun smiled mysteriously: "More or less. But it's not a treasure trove, it's a treasure bowl."

Before he could finish speaking, his figure was once again enveloped by the light of the teleportation array and disappeared from Qian Duoduo's sight.

Qian Duoduo stood there, muttering to himself, "A treasure basin? There's such a place in the Blue Star Region?"

......

Blue Star Territory, area 524.

This is a desolate wasteland with a unique landscape, filled with golden sandstone and scattered dead trees.

In a deserted place, there is a golden lake covering about a hundred acres. The lake water glistens with an unusual luster under the sunlight, as if it were molten gold.

There is almost no trace of any living creatures within a hundred miles of the lake.

There are no precious mineral veins here, nor any spiritual herbs or elixirs; even ferocious beasts are unwilling to approach.

The lake contains a peculiar power that slowly absorbs the surrounding spiritual energy. Staying here for a long time will likely cause one's strength to regress rather than improve.

Therefore, in the previous life, this place, known as the Golden Lake, became a well-known wasteland in the Blue Star Region, and even the lowest-ranking casual mortals were unwilling to settle here.

However, at this moment, the space beside the lake rippled, and Ye Chuyun's figure appeared.

He looked around and, after confirming that there were no signs of human presence within a hundred miles, he made hand seals, and runes flew out from his hands, landing in eight directions around the lake.

"Eight directions sealed off, activate!"

With a soft shout, eight invisible barriers rose up, completely enveloping the entire lake area.

From the outside, this place still appears as a peaceful golden wasteland, but any spiritual power or divine sense-like ability that attempts to probe its interior will be blocked by the barrier and further misled into believing that there is indeed nothing unusual here.

After doing all this, Ye Chuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the golden lake in front of her.

"I hope the information from my past life wasn't wrong," Ye Chuyun murmured to herself, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

In the previous life, the secret of the Golden Lake was only discovered five years after the Blue Star Domain descended upon the world of gods and demons.

It was by chance...

A rogue, pursued by his enemies and severely wounded, escaped to this place. Before dying, he threw all his belongings into the lake, including hundreds of thousands of Divine Demon Coins.

Something strange happened.

The next day, when another group of people passed by, they discovered that millions of God and Demon Coins were scattered along the lake shore.

The news caused an immediate sensation.

Countless people flocked to the Golden Lake, attempting to throw their God and Demon Coins into it.

They discovered that as long as a certain amount of Divine Coins were invested, the lake would return ten times that amount after twelve hours.

In no time, Liujin Lake became the most popular holy site in the entire Blue Star Region.

Every day, thousands of people come here to invest money, hoping for a tenfold return the next day.

However, the good times did not last long.

About three months later, the rebates from Liujin Lake began to gradually decrease, from ten times to five times, then to two times, and finally even became unprofitable.

Even more frighteningly, those who invested heavily in the lake began to suffer misfortune one after another.

Some suffered qi deviation during cultivation, some were attacked by enemies, and some perished unexpectedly while exploring ruins.

At the time, some people deduced from various clues that Liujin Lake was not a good place, and that the wealth it returned was actually obtained at the cost of the luck of the investors.

The more you invest, the more severe the loss of resources, and ultimately, you will encounter misfortune.

This view was widely accepted, and the popularity of Liujin Lake subsequently decreased.

However, there are still many desperate people willing to take the risk and exchange their luck for wealth.

It wasn't until another event occurred that the popularity of Liujin Lake was truly ignited...
